A letter to Time...

Dear Time,

                 I will not ask you how you are doing or begin with an age old "I hope you are doing great" because I know you are just fine. You always are. I am here to say something which you might not really like but you can't help it. Truth is bitter.

                 My college life began just a few months ago and I would dare to confess that these few months have been the best time of my life.I made some really good friends and realized that there is a lot more to life than seriousness and career-oriented thoughts. I have written such colourful memories and I know I will cherish them many years later and perhaps sit with my grandchildren, telling them about all the little crazy-naughty activities we indulged in. We are a group of eleven people and all of us share an unbreakable bond. We have, in these few months tried everything we could and should I confess a secret?? Promise me you won't let it out. Well... I also tried to give a puff at a cigarette. I ended up coughing badly though...

                 You know what the best part of college life was? Meeting him... you know whom. He extended his hand of friendship without knowing it would make me so happy. He gave me a peace and solace that I could not find anywhere, an indescribable sense of comfort that I can do whatever I want when he is with me and he won't judge me... such is the intensity of our bond...He was right "friendship is not based on number of days or years we stay together. Friendship is how many memories have we been able to thread that makes us smile whenever we look back and how much we have trusted the company without questioning". Such friendships are rare and I will merrily confess I absolutely love going to college and spending the day with him. 

                 Now, what you are doing is injustice to us. It's been just three months and already the first semester is over. We just blinked an eye and it was already the last working day of the first semester. If you travel so fast then three years will end tomorrow and who knows that we might not get chance in the same college for our further studies... I really don't want this merry ride to end. People will tell me that new life and new place will bring me new friends. I admit. It was the new place that brought us together and it is in this new place that we get to meet and spend some silly and memorable hours daily. But somewhere I don't really want to share this time with anyone else... 

                 it is very simple. Time, I just want to tell you that I don't like your speed. It's too fast. Please slow down and give me ample time with this gem of a person so that I never regret that I didn't get time with him... Truth is, I don't want 'OUR' time to end... 

                                                                                                                                              -Reva.
